What Our Market Corp does

Our Market Corp is a family-owned retail business operating as a single-location brick-and-mortar store on Martha's Vineyard, founded in 1919. The company sells fine wines, craft and domestic beers, spirits, and convenience groceries from its storefront at 1 East Chop Drive, Oak Bluffs, MA, supplemented by an island-wide delivery service that covers all six Martha's Vineyard towns with same-day fulfillment for orders placed by phone before 2pm. Delivery fees are tiered by location, ranging from $3 in Oak Bluffs to $10 in Chilmark and Aquinnah, with a $30 minimum order. The business also offers event beverage services for parties and weddings, house charge credit accounts, and an on-site bottle and can redemption center.

The company employs approximately 7 people and operates with extended retail hours (Monday-Saturday 8am-10:30pm, Sunday 8am-8pm), with liquor sales beginning at 10am daily. Payment is accepted via check, cash, credit card, COD, or house charge. There is no e-commerce platform, mobile application, or proprietary technology stack; orders are taken by phone and the website (ourmarketmv.com) serves primarily as an informational and community-engagement channel. The business does not maintain any external investor relationships, parent company structure, or disclosed financial reporting.

Our Market serves three primary customer segments: Martha's Vineyard residents seeking convenient access to beverages and groceries, event hosts and planners requiring bulk beverage provisioning for parties and weddings, and seasonal visitors needing vacation provisioning. The company differentiates through its 100+ year heritage, self-described largest selection of fine spirits on the island, comprehensive delivery coverage, and active community involvement including donations to local schools, sports facilities, and community organizations. Revenue streams include retail sales (one-time transactions), delivery fees (transaction-based), event services (project-based), and house charge accounts (recurring credit relationships).

Emerging players

• Wine.com: Largest U.S. online wine retailer with nationwide direct-to-consumer shipping. Relevant as an emerging digital competitor that could capture incremental wine demand from Martha's Vineyard residents and second-home owners bypassing the local store.
• Drizly (Uber): On-demand alcohol delivery platform, now part of Uber, that ships beer, wine, and spirits to consumers' doors. Comparable as a delivery-channel competitor and a potential partner that could either augment or disintermediate Our Market's in-house island delivery service.

Broad incumbents

• BevMo!: Multi-state specialty wine, beer, and spirits retailer with broad assortment and in-store experience. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the same retail alcohol category, though primarily West Coast-focused.
• Total Wine & More: Largest U.S. multi-store wine, beer, and spirits superstore chain. Represents the broad-incumbent threat Our Market faces if a well-capitalized national player ever targets the Martha's Vineyard market directly.

Direct peers

• Binny's Beverage Depot: Chicago-area multi-store wine, beer, and spirits chain with a curated premium assortment model. Comparable to Our Market in assortment-led merchandising and event/customer-service orientation, though at significantly larger scale.
• Spec's Wine, Spirits & Finer Foods: Texas-based large-format wine, spirits, and finer foods retailer combining alcohol with a curated grocery assortment. Highly comparable to Our Market's wine-spirits-plus-groceries one-stop-shop format and delivery/event service orientation.
• K&L Wine Merchants: California-based fine wine and spirits specialty retailer known for deep premium assortment and a strong online/direct-to-consumer channel. Comparable to Our Market in fine-wine curation and customer-service orientation, with a more developed digital and shipping infrastructure.
• Kappy's Fine Wine & Spirits: Family-owned Massachusetts wine and spirits retailer with multiple locations on Cape Cod and the South Shore. Comparable to Our Market as a regional New England family operator with a deep fine wine and spirits assortment serving seasonal/tourist traffic.
• Yankee Spirits: Massachusetts-based multi-store fine wine, beer, and spirits retailer with a similar assortment-led, locally trusted operating model. Yankee Spirits is the closest in-state comp to Our Market's core liquor-store-plus-convenience-grocer format.
• Julio's Liquors: Westborough, MA-based fine wine and spirits retailer known for a deep premium and allocation-driven assortment. Directly comparable to Our Market in product depth, family ownership heritage, and Massachusetts footprint.
